EU Funding to Support the EU Farmers

European Commission proposes to mobilise additional EU funding for EU farmers impacted by adverse climatic events, high input costs, and diverse market and trade related issues.

Representatives of the EU–27 agreed on a proposal to distribute a support package of €100 million to the 5 countries most affected by Ukrainian grain imports: Poland – €39.33 million, Romania – €29.73 million, Hungary – €15.93 million, Bulgaria – €9.77 million, Slovakia – €5.24 million.

Polish farmers will receive almost €40 million from the EU budget to cover losses caused by agricultural imports from Ukraine, EU Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski tweeted.

“Farmers are among the first to be impacted by the climate, economic and geopolitical crises. Despite the liquidity issues and difficulties faced, particularly acute in certain sectors and Member States, EU agricultural producers keep working every day to provide safe and quality food products. They deserve our support and our recognition. Today, the European Commission is again stepping up its financial aid to support EU farmers from all around the EU. National funds can also complement this support.” said Janusz Wojciechowski.

Member States will be able to provide the second part of the support from their national budgets.

In a tweet, Commissioner Wojciechowski welcomed the third support package which is “on its way“.

This package includes €330 million in support for countries:

This is the amount proposed on Monday by the European Commission’s Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets.

The countries may complement this EU support up to 200% with national funds.
